Police Release Suspect Sketch

From HRPD: Investigators from the HRP/RCMP Integrated Major Crime Section are asking for the public’s help identifying a man from a break and enter in the west end of Halifax.

On Saturday May 1 at 4:40am a man entered a residence in the 6500 block of Edinburgh Street. The residence was occupied at the time with a family of four and the suspect entered one bedroom, woke the female resident and began conducting and indecent act before being confronted and fleeing the residence. The witness was able to provide enough information to allow for a sketch of the suspect which is being released to the public in the hopes that someone will be able to identify him. Police continue to urge residents to be vigilant in keeping their homes secure.

Anyone recognizing the man in the attached sketch or with information in relation to this incident is asked to call Halifax Regional Police at 490-5016. Information can also be reported anonymously to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or online at www.crimestoppers.ns.ca.
